| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}1/KW. 29.12.34. We were under the impression that the Girling system was remarkably free from "sponge", so perhaps you would tell us if this amount is what you would expect. We do not think that the amount of "sponge" should be in any way comparable with the clearance or residual potential travel. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
